【international news】Fukushima's comeback: This Japanese destination is ready for tourists again？
日期：2022/05/31 作者：
It's a brisk autumn morning, and the Mishima overlook in Fukushima prefecture is crowded with photographers, mostly from Taiwan, eager to capture the scenic Tadami Line railway as it crosses the arched Dai-ichi Tadamigawa Bridge.
Among them is local photographer Kenkou Hoshi, who has photographed the region more than anyone else and has singlehandedly pioneered grassroots tourism in the area.
After discovering the hilltop viewpoint overlooking the Tadami River, he convinced local authorities to construct stairs for easier access; he's now lobbying for an elevator for the elderly.
"It's our fifth time to Japan, and after following posts on social media and YouTube, we decided to come to Fukushima," said Natalie Meek from the United Kingdom. "We're renting a car and spending five days around the Aizuwakamatsu area because there's so much to see."
